I’m rather pleased with my little snow jars.
With all the traveling I have been doing, I hadn’t seen the pictures on Pinterest of the snow globes from Anthropologie. So after Thanksgiving when we were in the store, I picked up one of the cute jars.
And very carefully set it back down. Seriously… they wanted $38 for a quart size snow globe.
Methinks not!

Next day I hit the Dollar Tree. Package with 2 mini snow frocked evergreen trees… $1. Package with a set of three people… $1.
One for Little Bird.
One for Little Hoss.
And one for me.
Jars from my stockpile. I got this at Home Goods for $2.50.
Glitter. Used about $5 worth (Martha is spendy but it’s good stuff!). Had a lot left over.
I glued the figures down with a hot glue gun. Then I brushed white glue on the bottom of each jar and poured in some of the finest glitter. Swirled it around to cover the bottom of the jar. I wanted the bottom to not be able to be seen thru when the jar is shaken.
Then I poured in a bunch of the course and medium glitters ( I mixed them to what I liked the looks of... not too dusty).
And ta-da! Snow globes.

Anthropologie… $38 each.
Teri… $5.50 each.
When my boys were little I had them make presents for their aunts and uncles. One year we did snow globes. However, I'm pretty sure theirs didn't look as nice as yours do :-)
ReplyDeleteYour snowglobes are great! I also saw these at Anthropologie and thought they were a really cute idea. When I looked at the price, I thought "I can make these myself for alot less". These are on my list to make for next Christmas !
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I may have to try some of these myself next year!
